Eaforcins the Monroe Doctrine.

The United States steamer Yantic ar.
rived at New York from Fort au Prince,
Hayti. It is reported on good authority
that while at Fort au Prince Commander
Green positively and officially forbade Eng
lish men -of-wari in the eharbortoexecute their
threat OF seizing the Tortugas island. The
report has created considerable
excitement there among both the American
and Spanish population. Late in March
it was reported from Havana that Eng
land had demanded OF Hayti the
immediate payment OF $1,000, 900 OF an
old claim or she would seize the Tortugas
island. Aday or two later came the rumor
that England had issued an ultimatum that
II the claim were not satisfied within five
days an English man-of-war, then in Hat
len waters, would lombard the principal
ports OF the Republic. All this time the
American consul at Hayti has kept the
state department at Washington fully in.
formed OF what was going on about him.
1t is understood that the government will
undertake to enforce the Monroe doctrine
should any of the European powers under
take to disrupt any OF the neighborirg Re-
publics.

QUEBEC, July THE fire at tbs bar
racks at the Citadel last night caused
great CONSERVATION among residents of
the neiclborhOod, who assembled in
force in the battery and blew up bald
ings to prevent the fire reaching the
magazine. The fire was got under con-
troll this morning before it reached tho
magazines. The loss cannot yet be
estimated. The fire originated in the
cavalry stables, where twenty-sx
horses were burned or suliocated.
The stable picket is said to have
been asleep wheA tho fire broke out.
The stables and tho sheds on the ram
parts are built entirely of wood, and 1t
Is the general belief that wooden build
irgs i'll such an important fortress as
the Citadel and in n place Were large
quantities of powder are stored should
not have been tolerated. An inyesti-
qution will be held. The excited cid
IONS did not seek their homes until 3
o'clock this morning. The most in.
tcnfe alarm prevailed throughout the
city until the fire was got thoroughly
unde control. At oIc time there were
fully 5000 men, women, and children
walking about the street7. Many made
their way to the surrounding countryin
c.rria2es and carts and on foot, fearing
an explosion of the powder in the maya
zine would occur. This feeling was
perhapsm most manifest along Champlaia
street, night under the great fortress,
as il WIS known that q great quantity
of powder was stored therein. When,
therefore. several explosions occurred
at midnight the people held their
breath and sought the best shelter
available. The crowd on the glicis
and on the hill leading to the Citadel
made n terrible rush down the hill till
they got where they supposed them
selves out of range OF the dangerous
missiles. Tic alarm subsiled some
what whcuit Was found that no damage
was caused, ard the subsequent explo-
sions caused little fear. The Governor
Generals and officers quarters, stables
Of artillery, hospitals. and provincial
am0ry, which contains twenty Ave
thousand stand OF arms, were un-
injured.
